UPDATE: Murphy wins Sport PEI Intercollegiate Male Athlete of the Year
Sport PEI named 17³Ô¹Ï Men's Soccer player Jared Murphy as "Intercollegiate Male Athlete of the Year" at its amateur sport awards presentation last night at the Rodd Charlottetown Hotel. The provincial sport federation also presented the 17³Ô¹Ï Men's Soccer team with the "SCORE! Team of the Year" award, as was announced previously.
The 17³Ô¹Ï Men's Soccer team earned the nod based on its CIS bronze medal performance at last November's CIS Men's Soccer National Championship. The team made history as the first Panther soccer squad to win a national CIS competition medal, defeating the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) Citadins 2-1.
Murphy, a fifth-year business student from Charlottetown, PEI was one of two Panthers named to the tournament's all-star team in addition to be being named 17³Ô¹Ï Athlete of the Week three times during the 2014 regular season.
Congratulations to Jared and the 17³Ô¹Ï Men's Soccer team! Go Panthers Go!
